• On the effect of wicking on the droplet cooling 

      Auliano, Damiano (Master thesis, 2018)
      Several thermal management applications operating at low temperatures require the liquid to spread as much as fast as possible in order to improve the cooling performance. Due to the recent progresses in micro/nano technology, ...
    • Water droplet dynamics on a heated nanowire surface 

      Auliano, Manuel; Auliano, Damiano; Fernandino, Maria; Zhang, Peng; Dorao, Carlos Alberto (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      When a liquid droplet is deposited onto a heated surface, evaporation occurs. If the temperature of the surface is sufficiently high, bubbles are released from activated nucleation sites, making the heat transfer more ...
